PatternEx Applies Artificial Intelligence to IT Security

By any measure, there’s a critical shortage of IT security professionals. And while major strides are being made in terms of IT security training, it’s pretty clear there won’t be enough people with IT security expertise any time soon.

While an IT security professional will also be needed to make sense of the data, PatternEx CEO Uday Veeramachaneni says the PatternEx Threat Prediction Platform combines machine learning algorithms and anomaly detection technologies with modeling tools to not only detect orders of magnitude more threats, but also substantially reduce the number of false positives that an IT security team has to investigate.

The constant stream of alerts that existing security technologies generate often is the bane of IT security. Over time, those alerts result in IT security fatigue that results in IT organizations becoming less vigilant; it takes too much time and effort to track down the cause of every alert. Veeramachaneni says the PatternEx Threat Prediction Platform makes use of AI technologies to provide more context around the generated alerts.

AI may not solve every IT security issue. But it can go a long way to helping IT organizations address IT security issues at scale. In fact, in all likelihood, hackers will soon be leveraging AI and machine learning algorithms to achieve their own evil ends. In that respect, AI applied by an IT organization is just leveling the playing field.
